Re: Why does my steering wheel shake at 80mph?
When I first had my SL it would shake at high speeds. I had my wheels balanced with differnt weights and it rides like a champ now. Other than that I dont know.

Re: Why does my steering wheel shake at 80mph?
mine used to shake like a mother past 75. then i got an alignment an new tires. it could be that ur tires need to be re-balanced. cuz my car didnt shake til i lowered it an it was eating up the tires.

Your alignment is screwed up. Just an FYI.

Re: Why does my steering wheel shake at 80mph?
LOL, it will be!!
After any suspension modification you will throw out the tracking of the car and should really have it re-alligned each time. As for balancing unfortunately due to the punishment of the road surface and the fat ass of the gt's it is possible to unbalance the wheels or rattle the weights of. This will cause the judder felt through the steering wheel. Only take about 2mins to rebalance a wheel though so real easy!

thanks everyone. I'll check into rebalancing the tires. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the ppl that did the allignment and see if its still off or check if they didn't do it right the first time around. Wakeboard, thanks and I'll be interested in hearing what happens.

When you get the wheels balanced, see if they will use stick-on weights. They won't shake off, and they won't hurt your wheels.

You can only use stick on weights on alloys anything else will damage them, only steels can take the clip ons

Re: Why does my steering wheel shake at 80mph?
I've gotten all 4 new tires, wheels balanced and did a 4 wheel allignment. Still the shaking remains. I can't figure it out.
Does it have to do w/ the steering column? I guess I'm probably going to have to live with it cuz I don't have much more money to put into more repairs.

Re: Why does my steering wheel shake at 80mph?
Damn sorry to hear that. I could have sworn that would be an alignment problem.
